    If your looking for a JLR product and can afford to insure it, despite its dreadful reliability…. Good luck to you.

    i have a disco 5 first edition 3.0l. full options list. 80k miles now, no issues at all. always serviced when needed. cant beat the driving position. such a cosy place for family to be, especially in bad weather.

    As a low mileage used buy the Disco is great. New, however, it suffers heavy depreciation in a way that the Defender does not. It is not just a question of “not following the herd”, it is a question of financial sense.

    I have Discovery 5 HSE Lux 3 litre diesel, 72,000 miles. Its incredible. Honestly does everything & never had any issues at all. I bought eyes open and expecting to be back & forwards to dealer entire time but nothing. Its been once of the best cars I have owned. That list includes, Porsche 987, Mini JCW, 2x Mini R53, BMW F80 M3 (1 of 30 made) BMW M140i, BMW X640D, Golf GTD, BMW 320D, golf 1.4i, Mondeo, mustang, fiesta, Clio. Fiat 4×4( the OG) Most cars I keep for 12-18 months and then change. We needed a bigger car as now have a lovely baby & a dog. There is no better car at the family job. You hear lots of scare stories but most of issues with discovery were the 2litre engine so as long as you avoid that you are winning.

    At least it didn’t breakdown when you had it. You got lucky.

    JL are about to go all electric.
    Will we still be able to get service and repairs in 2 years let alone 5?

      It’s just the Jaguar marquee? I don’t think LR is going to be all electric anytime soon; they’ve not got a single model out yet (RR EV is the incoming?).

    I am too afraid of the reported reliability problems – they really need to get behind their products with a solid 10 year guarantee or similar to restore confidence

    I just cannot past the offset number plate on the rear. I know why its done like that but without a wheel there, it just plays with my OCD!

    It is not only the horrible reliability of these cars, but also the lack of spare parts. It’s crazy how the new models of Land Rover are lacking very important spare parts.

    that folding flap at the back blocking your boot partially is one of the most dumb things i’ve seen for a while and making that electronic is even more insane

    Great video – they make great Approved Used buys.
    My Disco5 is just over 7 years old and has been almost faultless – more than one electric window regulator needed replacing – done very quickly under warranty.
    I wish the 3rd row wasn’t electric – they’re too slow.
    The turning circle isn’t as good as the Disco 4 making tight manoeuvring a bit tricky – but it’s still better than the Defender there.
    If only they had a PHEV version with rear-wheel steering and was just a couple of cm narrower… then it would be perfection.

    We went from a defender d300 to a discovery d350 just about a month ago and the discovery is a much nicer car. The ride is much subtler than in the defender (both had air suspension, and the defender had 20’s and the discovery has 22’s). Best value land rover in my opinion. Both are one of the best tow cars on the road

    I love all the hidden storage areas but these are not much use when the vehicle is stolen off the drive.

    What is it with car makers unable to make buttons that work anymore?

    Got a 7 year old Disco 5 and a Defender 110. The Discovery is miles better for any family, just a shame JLR still haven’t introduced 3rd row rubber mats!! 👀
